Sony SD Memory Cards with backup capabilities : Sony’s newest SD flash memory cards can do more than just temporarily store and transfer content from digital cameras. The new Backup SD memory card adds automatic back-up capabilities, eliminating the need for plugging in external drives each time users want to safeguard their data. The new memory cards from Sony are available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities - are the first to offer a dedicated real-time backup feature, so consumers can use removable memory as more than just bridge media. Consumers can get information and download a free 30-day trial demo of the Backup SD Card utility software at the Sony Electronics website.

The first step is to insert the Backup SD memory card into the empty SD card slot on a Personal Computer. Consumers then install the software that’s pre-loaded on the memory card and select the folders they want to have automatically backed-up. By keeping the memory card in the slot, backup copies of important business documents or family photos are automatically made. Backup copies are always updated, as the card’s utility software automatically makes backup copies every time it detects changes - such as the creation of new files or changes to existing data.

The software automatically starts making back-up copies, with marks showing 'During backup' or 'Backup completed' displayed on the file icons to let users easily see the status of the backup. Since the Sony memory card remains in the slot, users don’t have to connect external HDDs each time they want to make backups. Users can choose to keep their data more secure with AES 256-bit file encryption, so copies of important files can’t be opened or seen by others even if the card is removed from the slot.
